Milk Hinders Comments By: Anon Drinking milk while you have a sore throat can be more of a hinder than help. If you have a lot of drainage in your throat, milk can stick to that producing more phlem.   Milk makes it worse! Comments By: camie Milk can cause a sore throat, or make it worse. Many people are actually allergic to milk, and it will increase phlem even if you aren't allergic.   Goodness outweighs badness Comments By: Jeff If it doesn't effect your phlem, then milk is awsome. It takes away the pain momentarily =) I hear chocolate milk works better because it's thicker. My throat is horrible right now and im drinking milk as i type... it's workin goooood.   alright Comments By: chris i think its worked alright my throat is still hurting but not as bad. i don't think ive got much milk left tho!   Drinking Milk to Smooth Sore Throat Comments By: Julian Drinking milk that is cold is good for smoothing the throat, I tried it, it would be better to use a straw to slow down the drinking process, drinking from a glass will cause you to swallow in large amounts too fast, with a straw you will sip thus extending smoothing, and one glass of milk would last much longer with a straw. Please note if you have running nose, mucus build up or sinus problems, milk can increase mucus build up. So I recomemd an alternative like raw Lemon juice, it will cut the irritation in half, plus excellent soure of vitamin "C", ask Christopher Columbus on hi crest to the Caribbean, it saved his crew from sarvy deasease.   cayenne Comments By: Sean mix cayenne pepper and water (temp is your pick-i use cold water). Gargle a nice size glass for as long as you can stand it. i have heard that 1/8 teaspoon is ok but i just plopped that stuff in your call. don't let it get into your throat or you will not be in a good mood. gargle easy to get it around your throat but not down your throat. i tried it for the first time (five min before this post) and my sore thraot was immediatley less painful after. be carful the wawter is spicey :)
